The Dartmouth Grange has announced the winners of the John H. Brown Jr. Scholarships for 2017.

The recipients are Victoria A. Cameron and Dominic J. Vaccari of Dartmouth High School, and Emily I. Simonin and Connor T. Brown of Westport Junior-Senior High School.

Cameron is studying health science at Northeastern University. Vaccari is studying energy systems engineering at Massachusetts Maritime Academy. Simonin is studying forensic science at Mount Ida College. Brown is studying biomedical engineering at University of Rhode Island. Each student successfully met the criteria for receiving their individual awards of more than $2,000.

The Dartmouth Grange is taking applications for the 2018 John H. Brown Jr. Scholarships, to be awarded to graduating seniors at Dartmouth and Westport high schools. One male graduate and one female graduate from each school will be selected to receive a scholarship of $2,000. The scholarship committee may decide to offer additional scholarships to students of both schools.

The scholarship committee will consider criteria such as academic merit and community service, and tries to recognize students interested in environmental science or agricultural studies, though not mandatory. Applications are available online from each school; from the Dartmouth Grange, 1133 Fisher Road, Dartmouth; or from dartmouthgrange.org.

Applications are due April 15. More information is available by calling the grange at (508) 636-1900.
